Dean Castle Country Park spans over 200 acres and centres on a recently renovated 14th century castle with world class collections. Inside the castle you can explore rooms including the Keep, Great Hall, Solar, Palace, Banqueting Hall, Lord Boyd's Chamber and Kitchen Garden. The park also contains a Rural Life Centre focused on sustainable living, with woodland walks where you can spot local wildlife. There's an Adventure Playground for children, a Treehouse Café in the Visitor Centre with views over the park, and gift shops. The castle and grounds are free to enter.
